    There seems to have been a little discussion in this thread at how useful this list might be. As I stated, each person can look at this list and use it how they want (or not use it at all!). Although there are many things that go into making a kilt, I think for most people PRICE is the best place to start (especially on the first few kilts) and then move on from there. It should not be the only thing to look at, but probably will be one of the first. From there the consumer can look at other things that are important to them: customer service, experience, training, materials, etc.

    I am not sure if this is worthy of being a "sticky" thread, but I think it would be a good idea to have some place where people can comment on and rate different kilt makers. Although, that might be hard since advertising is paid for on here. Not sure if that would be considered advertising or not.

    Thanks for all the work compiling and correcting. I think this is a very handy tool on the road to selecting a kilt maker.

    Will it be the ONLY tool? for most, I doubt it, but as you said, price is a great place to start. Price is, for most people, an issue. From there, you can determine who can best help you achieve your kilted goals while staying within your budget.

    Now to the HARD part... keeping it up to date!
